So I would assume that if they do recolonize, they won't have to have any bake sales  |
It said "unpaid" not "forgiven"....which is why I asked my original question.

Technically speaking it's a different chapter. I'd hope they wouldn't be put into debt upon colonization. It would only put them at a disadvantage.

No, it would still be the XYZ chapter of SAE. Unless SAE works differently then 98% of GLOs.

No, I get that. Unless they do the "Deuteron" thing or some such. I'm just saying that the chapter itself is different. These guys didn't get in trouble and get a fine.
I'd just hope that they wouldn't get stuck in a position of such a large debt because it would likely mean higher dues and fewer social activies etc. It just seems counter-productive to recolonizing a chapter...
/this is all only IMHO

My guess is that Drolefille is correct, if SAE ever wants to recolonize at Case.
A $15,000 fine right off the top of recolonizing efforts, along with whatever the university requires, could be an insurmountable obstacle for a new group -- unless there are a lot of rich alums.

Just out of curiousity say like a few SAE's were having a kegger on their own time off campus. Some SAE's showed up some GDI's you know like your typical college gathering. It was never labeled an SAE party, could that hurt the chapter? Sorry if I sound stupid.

Based on my sorority's risk management rules (which may or may not be similar to SAE's) if you talk about it in chapter, send it through the email listserve or advertise it in any way as an SAE event (think Facebook), then it is and the chapter is responsible.

It doesn't sound stupid.
The rules vary from organization to organization. Some allegedly are so strict that if there are more than, say three, members present, it's considered a chapter event. That's pretty stringent.
If it was organized by members, it will often be considered a chapter event.

Brother,
There is no short way to answer that question. As someone else already posted, if you really want the best answer, contact RM Director at National.
From both my own experiences and from reading the news, if any member (s) of any social/sport/GLO/living group have a "situation/problem" off of campus, the name of the group will end up in the press.
FYI: Among those experiences were a riot and a murder.
